The worst crap for giving a headache ever, I can drink some stuff from opening time to closing and be all right in the morning, two pints of this cack and it's guaranteed headache, have stayed well clear for the last 20 years.
What i'd like to know is how come so many of you know what piss tastes like???
Dogs piss. An embarrassment that only survives due to Brewery ties. Go out of your way to avoid it as I do and whatever you do don't give it to anyone from another country, they will think you have no taste what-so-ever!
i admit carling tastes like piss.Its a 3 4 me.Drink stella or lynx yellow you av not tasted lager otherwise
The colder the beer, the less you can taste. Might as well suck an ice cube.

Now hold on, Carling isn't originally British you know, it's Canadian. It's brewed in the UK though as are Stella et al.
Rather an ordinary drink I think
As far as 4% lagers go, Carling Cold is ok. It does taste VERY neutral though and is probably why some liken it to piss.
It gets a 6 and a half from me.
I'm an infrequent drinker of anything but Mexican beers, but on a recent stay in Nether Langwith, Notts, at The Jug and Glass, my friends introduced me to Carling Extra Cold and I really got into it. The weather was unusually warm, and the drink being cold helped. And 4 pints each night left me very sociable and happy with little or no aftereffects the next morning.
People please get over the marketing and actually taste this stuff. It isn't very good but it's British so we love it. It only gets a 4 because the 'extra cold' makes it taste more chemically.
For all you stupid people that think Carling is so popular due to Bass having all the pub's in there pocket you should look into who makes what you are all wrongly calling a piss poor drink. It is actually made by Coors Brewers Ltd and has been for the last 5 or so years.
I should know as I work for them, and as for you Idiots who say it is full of chemicals, you are talking out of your arse !!!!!!!! Carling is not chemically enhanced and as one of you rightly pointed out it is down to the competence and care that the landlord/cellar staff put into their line cleaning.
If you go to a public house and you are unhappy with the taste of the carling might I suggest A) Complaining or B) GOING SOMWHERE ELSE !!!!!!
Carling is a nice smooth pint that comes in at a mellow 4.1% abv which is nice if you enjoy drinking beer and not fighting/throwing up/ acting like a moron. The extra cold effect of running two flash coolers makes for a lovely refreshing pint, best served in one of those new fangled carling glasses with the widgety thing at the bottom....this combination provides the perfect pouring for a lovely head and a comfortably lively pint.
If you are one of these naysayers complaining about hangovers and chemically tastes maybe you need to visit some different pubs that flush and clean their lines properly!!!!
If only there was a negative rating. Pat was spot on in his assessment. Piss poor Carling. Bass owns all the boozers and force it onto the hapless (tasteless?) British public. Even Heineken has finally sorted itself out and done the decent thing and introduced proper Heineken into the UK (I think the UK brewed piss-weak stuff eventually became too big an embarassment for Heineken to ignore). When will Carling follow suit? Vote with your mouths, leave Carling and they will be forced to improve. You owe it to future generations of beer drinkers.
You piss drinkers dont now the difference between the awsome taste of carling extra cold an the wank thats in the othere lagers, im sat here in Newzeland an carling has just made the shops an its in BIG demand.
Pat, I salute you! what more is there to be said?? consumers of the UK: would you drink piss? NO. would it taste alright if it was chilled and called 'piss extra cold'??? NO NO NO NO NO
Don't believe any good reviews. Don't believe the advertising. Don't let the fact that it's on sale in so many pubs in the UK lead you to believe that it's any good. It's not. It's dreadful. Truly awful. Nasty chemical taste (made worse if subjecting yourself to it from a can). Horrible chemical content that leaves you feeling absolutely dire the next morning. The only reason this sells so much is that the Bass brewing combine have so much of the UK pub market in their pocket that it HAS to be available everywhere. I repeat: DON'T do it! You'll regret it...
There is a very good reason why we import lager - because we have tried and failed to make our own. Carling is the Devil's Urine. I'd rather drink water.
Think its the only British Lager that people actually drink! As soon as you walk into a bar, its either Carling, Fosters or Stella, Everyone Knows that!! Fosters is Aussie, Stella is From Belgium! So id say, A Good 8 For Carling.
56 million Britains? Where'd that figure come from?
A local bar to me started serving Carling, put me off lager for two months solid. That's some feat. Though, vodka is a cracking diet tool I found.
The only beer to drink in the UK. Slips down without you noticing. Made in the midlands 56million Britains cant be wrong!
